 The Eion's Herald of Boston in it's last is- sue announces the fact that Rev. Dr. Geodsell has been elected editor-in- chief of that paper and will assume the editorial management on January 1, 1888. Dr. Goodsell was seen by COURIER reporter last evening and in reply to questions said that the statement was cor rect and that after this year he would un- doubtedly make his home in Boston. Dr. Goodsell succeeds Rev. Dr. B. F. Pierce, who has been editor of the Herald for sixteen years and who is te be retired at his own re. quest.
